Its a great time to clean out the pantry. You can check for old or expired foods and write a list of those items that you need to replace.
Its also a great time to throw away any of those foods that snuck in by accident and shouldn't really be there. You know the ones.

Those less than healthy foods that may have been hiding in the back of the cupboard or the ones that you picked up during a weak moment.
It doesn't really matter how they got in there, all that matters is that we recognize they won't help us to reach our goals and we should probably get rid of the temptation.

Cleaning out the pantry on a regular basis is a smart thing to do for all the reasons mentioned above. But it will also help us to stay a little more organized when it comes to meal planning.

How many of you are planting a garden this year?
Having fresh veggies right in your own yard is fantastic way to help you on this journey.
Planting a garden is not only good for your waist line, its good for your mental health and your wallet.

My husband and I can no longer plant a garden since we've downsized to a condo but we can still do something. Those of us who may not have a yard can shop our stores sales, visit farmers markets or local farm stands. We can even plant a few things in pots, such as a cherry tomato plant.

Do you have room for a garden? Or have you found other ways to help your health and budget?

Change can be scary.

Change can be hard.

But dont be scared. Change is what will be required if we want to build a healthier lifestyle and lose excess pounds.

Start with something small, such as increasing your daily water intake. Then build from there, try being in a calorie deficit each day. Next you'll probably want to add in some additional movement each day. Either though household chores or exercise.
Every small step that we take can help us reach the next step that we need to take. Then so on and so on.

A friendly reminder that drinking water isn't the only way to hit your hydration goals. Several fruits and vegetables can help provide you with extra fluids as well.

When I was interning at a fitness center in London in 2006, I noticed the word “train” was often used when referring to working out or exercising. I always liked this because it’s so practical and straightforward. Think about it: When you train for something, like a race, for example, it’s t...

If we don't take care of our body it will effect our daily lives, especially as we age. Poor diet and exercise, will lead to a lack of energy, flexibility and the ability to move as easily as we once did. Not to mention the effect that it can have on our health. We'll be more tired and less motivated to do things . But it doesn't have to be this way. We can change and improve basically everything about our lives at the same time. ♥️

Its up to us to correct our bad habits and poor lifestyle choices. No one is coming to save us.
We have to do it for ourselves.

We must put in the hard work and the extra effort in order to see the results we want.
If we don't, nothing will ever be different.

We must love ourselves enough to change. ♥️
